For the non-pilots here, roughly what is a forward-slip? I understand a little bit about flying, but not enough to grok the explanations/diagrams.

Is it a high-altitude, low-power approach to the runway, where full flaps are used to bleed off more altitude and speed? How is that different from a regular approach?
